The installer failed only when insufficient space under /tmp which requires at least 600 MB of space to install 7.5.2-
Check /tmp directory and ensure that there is at least 600 MB of space to install. Make sure which directory is specified when installing with the -t and how much space that folder directory on the filesystem has to spare
If there is not enough space under the /tmp, option -t may be used to specify another location where space is sufficient for the installation (at least 600MB). AIX builds are different from other platforms in that they do not use shared libraries and are larger than the other platforms.
